The Issue

Many teen girls are being restricted by a dress code that is outdated and unreasonable. Girls are being unfairly targeted, we should be able to wear what we feel comfortable in and not have to worry about people looking at us. Even though the dress code rules are not stated as gender-based on paper, the way they enforce the rules is gender-based. We need to change these rules or the way they are enforced.
